Trapping was the name of the game on this week’s “10 Million Dollar Bigfoot Bounty” as the teams were tasked with trapping animals that Bigfoot would munch on in their timed field test. The team that catches the most animals wins.

The site of this week’s hunt was Brooks Memorial Park in Washington, where there have been 22 recent Bigfoot sightings. Being the “big game hunters” they are, Wilmington local Shaney Warehime and her partner Kirsten Godfrey were quick to use their trappings skills to dig a hole instead of simply building a trap in surface level. They deem this the best approach because the animal will actually have to go into the hole to get the food and has a better chance of being stuck. I mean, that’s sound logic. Setting their trap, the women called themselves “a force to be reckoned with.”

Sadly, even though they had a good plan, by the next morning, the camo-clad women had nothing. But luckily for them, out of 20 traps, no other team did either. Bravo, everyone!

With no field test winner, no one gets an advantage and the hunt is on even playing field for the first time on the show.

During the hunt, Shaney and Kirsten are the first stumble on something that peaks their interests. Finding droppings with suspicious hair in it, the two put the hair in an evidence tub. Elsewhere in the dark woods, a group thinks they see a dark, shadowy figure in the distance and fear they are being stalked by Bigfoot. Yet another team sees a group of cows get spooked by the same figure, but have no idea how to see what’s causing the ruckus. These people should run towards the big scary thing in the woods when there is $10 million up for grabs!! Also, one team member gets injured after falling down and must be escorted out by EMTs. I’m sure the sirens were really good in attracting Bigfoot.

At the evidence examination, Shaney and Kirsten talk about their hair but are informed that their evidence was nowhere to be found in the tub. They must not have secured it. Ruh, roh.

Ultimately, it didn’t matter. Another team was sent packing and our local hunter Shaney was left to trap another day. See you next week!
